I’ll introduce the solution for the Brother HL-L2375DW issue where it gets stuck on “Printing-Looking for printer” and cannot print on macOS.

Background: Stuck on "Printing-Looking for printer" and Cannot Print

After executing a print job on macOS, the Brother HL-L2375DW series app job remained displaying Printing-Looking for printer and suddenly stopped working.

Solution: Restart Printer and PC

The issue was resolved by:

  1. Restarting the Brother HL-L2370DW
  2. Restarting macOS

Below, I’ll only document the printer restart method which can be confusing.

How to Restart Brother HL-L2370DW

  1. Unplug the power cord from the Brother HL-L2370DW
  2. Wait a moment
  3. Plug the power cord back into the Brother HL-L2370DW
  4. Press the power button to turn on the printer

That’s all from the Gemba, where I resolved the Brother HL-L2375DW error of being stuck on “Printing-Looking for printer” and unable to print.
